XBox One Gameplay news: 'PUBG,' 'Grand Theft Auto V' get fan-requested updates

XBox One X gets PUBG updates Xbox website

Xbox One users are in for quite a few changes this week as a new batch of updates and industry highlights have been released. Anime fans worldwide are going to get their fill with 12 brand-new anime-centric titles that are set to be launched soon.

Another trailer has been released for "Kingdom Hearts III," which gave fans even more reasons to look forward to a new world of gameplay. Other updates for the Xbox One system include those for "Monster Hunter: World," "Fortnite," "Overwatch," and "Rainbow Six: Siege." For those that are glued on to "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds," an eighth update is already available for the Xbox One version.

Patches have also been made by the "PUBG" developer in order to change the way vehicles take damages they receive during gameplay, which was an improvement made based on fan feedback. Bluehole has also decided to go back to its previous system of intensified damage when a vehicle gets hit. Also for "PUBG," the camera will stay in a correct position in the event of a game character's death and whenever passenger players disembark, vehicles will no longer shift to a different positioning on the map.

It was also announced that starting Feb. 20, "PUBG" will be made available as a bundle together with Xbox One S consoles.

Grand Theft Auto's "The Vapid Hustler" GTA/Rockstar Games

Also, just in time for the Valentine season for those that frequent the crazy world of Los Santos, "Grand Theft Auto V" will have a new batch of content, along with other bonuses and discounts. Players can now also add a brand-new car — the Vapid Hustler — to their collection starting this week.

According to Rockstar Games, "When you see that running board swooping low over the front wheels, that high-set radiator grill and the holder for your cigarette holder, you'll feel like you're back in the 1920s. But then you see the carbon steel reinforcements to the chassis, the turbo charger and the bullbar, and you realize you're somewhere else altogether."
